Description This  paper  wants  to  explore  the  effectiveness  of  momentum  or  contrarian  strategy  in Indonesian  Stock  Exchange  using  different  methods  in  measuring  the  performance.  The point of momentum or contrarian strategy is selecting winner (stocks with highest gain) or loser stocks (stocks with highest loss) and then buy or sell it based on the research result. This research employed three methods in measuring performance to select winner and loser stocks.  The  irst  method  used  cross  section  relative  return,  while  the  second  method  used cross section relative return plus risk component (return divided by standard deviation), and the  third  method  employed  historical  relative  return  instead  of  cross  section.  The  result  is that,  all  of  those  three  methods  prove  that  momentum  strategy  is  effectively applicable  for winner stock, so in the next period winner stock will continue to make profit, while for loser stock, it is more effective to use contrarian strategy because in the next period, loser stock will rebound and make proit after suffering from high loss. activate javascript
